On the z the rims that came with it the tyre valve aint visable strange alloys I aint seen any like this before ie how the hell would you inflate the tyre etc. They have a screw cap on them where you would expect the valve to be but it is flush to the rim. Do you reckon the valve is under this was not sure if to remove it incase somthing stupid like the tyre deflated prob wont but just thought id ask if any body had similar rims with same fitting. http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1000119pv5.jpg

I have just taken the rear original spoiler and an aftemarket of the back of my car as it looked awfull. I now have a large indent and gap in the back which i didnt know was there. Does this area have to be filled and shaped or does anyone make a fitting for it? I would rather not have it filled as it will onlyg crack at a later date. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Just got a used one of these but have read that you need to cut part of the throtle guard thingy on top of the engine to make it fit. Also how hard are they to fit as not sure I can be arsed with it if it's a lot of work as I have so much else to do (never enough time to get things done) so might sell it on if I get a good offer. Anyone fitted one of these ? Don't think it's an original carbing as it does not have the laser etching or plaque but it's a very good replica possibly the powertrix type with double welds as seen in pics few marks but the price was right

i have done a diagnostic test on my autobox and it says that the throttle sensor circuit is shorted or disconnected, does anyone know how to solve this i am no mechanic by any means and any pictures where to find it would be extremely helpful thanks all.is there anywhere that i could take it to be fixed easily (and cheaply) thankyou

This is the only picture i can find of it on the car. I must have deleted all my old pictures... DOH I have raked it out of the garage and it looks a bit dirty. So I have cleaned it as much as I could. Do you all think I should put this back on the car instead of that monsterous thing I currently have?

I have found a fault on the movement switch, opened up and all the loose bits are now on the garage floor. Anyone know where I can source another switch and connectors please.

Has anyone bought from him before or can supply the same conversion kit? 315mm 114.3 x5 rotas should be easy enough to find so I'd want to shop around a bit.

Volk dont do silver only girly colours so ive gone for black. Do you think they will look OK?

Have thought these would be good for the zed, but have never heard of anyone making them?

Fitted a new OEM fuel filter today and, in reading from here that I was advised in taking the black plastic pipe out of the inlet port. I've fitted it to the new filter. But just wondering what the reason is for having it? Looks like it's some kind of fuel limiter or even a mini dampener? Is it essential?

Im thinking of selling both of my 5" 5 Zigen back boxex, what kind of money should I get, basically i want 2 5" striaght through back boxes so it sounds a bit louder.

I decided to fit my 555's and the JD chipped ECU today and duly got stuck in to stripping the plenum off. No probs at all as Jimmer had recently done a rebuild and everything just flew off without any problems. Removed the fuel rail with the standard injectors in and fitted the new fuel rail containing the 555.s. All back together albeit with a bit of cussing trying to get the passenger side PCV valve pipe back on. A b#st#rd I have to say. Anyway on to the the best bit.....the swapping of the ECU. Now normally on most cars this would be a piece of cake but not on mine. It had previously been fitted with an HKS F-CON which was disconnected recently when the car was overfue…

I want these wheels http://www.ultralitewheels.com/hikari.htm spoke to The Garage in motherwell, he has a FMIC kit in stock for 250 quid.

With nothing to do this morning, and with the Virginia Water tomorrow, ive put the rears on at last, and cleaned the lady and given her a good polish. Should be a good meet if weather holds out. Looking at 22 zeds so far.

Hello. After getting some info off you guys about my oil pressure i think i should just get my normal service done and have an aftermarket oil pressure gauge fitted. While doing this i would also liek a turbo boost gauge and was wondering if use guys have any ideas on good gauges to get. I would like the gauges that fit into the dash in the cd player slot. Does anyone know of these types of gauges or what type they are?

Had a look round some of the Z32 tech sites and can't seem to find a how2 to replace the brake booster from under the dash. Does anyone have a link to one or one they've already done? Thanks
